good evening and welcome to Dodger Stadium all of us have experienced a Litany of emotions whether it would be shock disbelief and horror followed by grief mourning and anger all of us indeed have lost a lot we've lost thousands of lives we have lost some of our self-confidence we have lost some of our freedom and certainly we have lost a way of life the president of the United States has said it is time to go back to work and so despite a heavy heart baseball gets up out of the dirt brushes itself off and will follow his command hoping in some small way to inspire the nation to do the same all of the ball players in the major leagues are wearing the American flag out of patriotism yes out of love of country yes but more so out of Duty and of courage and to pronounce a national firmness of will
